If your laundry room is big enough and has enough ventilation, do in fact utilize that as your closet. There is no rule saying you can't, especially if you live alone. And if you have a door on it, what's the harm in making it into a closet with a washer and dryer biuilt in?? I have a bar going across my laundry room and in fact do hang most of my clothes in there due to convenience after i wash them and hang them in there to dry.
As for the actual closet, depending how tall you are, you can move the bar for the clothes up as high as you can (even higher if you would enjoy a decorative step/seat stool you can leave near there and step on it to get clothes hanger off the bar, then this will leave you room on the bottom wherein you can put shelves that house baskets for other stuff or extra "dresser" type space. If you do decide to leave all of your hanging clothes in your laundry room, you can in fact utilize the whole closet and a shelving unit type concept.
also a neat trick is get lifters for you bed - this is also where the lil step stool comes in where you can walk up to your bed lol if its low and utilize under your bed for storage, put "drawer" type things under there where you can just pull it out for like shoes and stuff. Have a bed skirt and you can get ones that blend so it doesn't appear to be more stuff so to speak and its a perfect storage area, just make sure the drawer type things have covers so dust and stuff don't get in.
Personally, the curtain idea is to me a no go, it will LOOK like you are just trying to cover up what's inside. I've never been a fan of curtains for doors. however, i am not sure how this would look but instead of curtains you could get a decorative screen to go in front of the closet, if its one of those tall ones and goes all the way to the floor, you may be able to set it so that its out some from the actual closet and sort of extend the closet out and put some drawer type things outside the closet but behind the screen, that way, you can just walk around the screen into your closet area without it appearing to be a cover for a closet so to speak. Like i said i am not sure how this would look but it may work with your decor and give you more "closet" space behind the screen.
